Review: Immaculate Machine – Fables (2007)

June 12th, 2007 by Yiyo

English Version:

- They are from Canada and Canadian music scene rules.
- Final Fantasy’s Owen Pallet, Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos and The Cribs collaborate on this album.
- Kathryn Calder is also a member of New Pornographers
- They have one of the best intro on a song/album (Ones & Zeros album):

“We are sailing on a broken ship, but only one of us can survive
I don’t want to go, If it means you die”

- They made an EP featuring French version of songs from Ones & Zeros album.
……and they have just released Fables

I’ve already said this, but even though you can sense the influence of New Pornographers on this album,Immaculate Machine has its own independence and style.
Fables begins with Jarhand and Dear Confessor, two great upbeat tracks to convince you. Then the album goes through a mix between what I called “little anthems” referring to those drama-popish songs, for example: Roman Statues & Old Flame. Finally I conclude saying that C’mon Sea Legs is one of the greatest highlights on this album (for some reason this track sounds “Bleeding Heart Show-esque” to me, imho)

Fables, a 2007 surprise.

Highlights:

- Jarhand
- MP3: Dear Confessor
- Roman Statues
- Nothing Ever Happens
- C’mon Sea Legs. ? Recommended.

Versión en Español:

- Son canadienses, y la escena musical de Canadá es la que manda actualmente.
- Final Fantasy: Owen Pallet, Franz Ferdinand: Alex Kapranos y The Cribs colaboraron en este álbum
- Kathryn Calder es a su vez integrante de The New Pornographers
- La banda tiene uno de los mejores intro para una canción y álbum (correspondiente al Ones & Zeros):

“We are sailing on a broken ship, but only one of us can survive
I don’t want to go, If it means you die”

- No se durmieron en los laureles y realizaron un EP con versiones francesas del Ones & Zeros.
- Y finalmente lanzaron Fables

Ya lo había dicho, en este trabajo se palpa la influencia de New Pornographers, sin embargo Immaculate Machine demuestran independencia y estilo único.
Fables comienza con Jarhand y el single Dear Confessor, dos amenas canciones para convencer de que va el disco, sigue con pequeños “himnos” característico por ser canciones de corte “dramáticos” pero con cierto aire popish ej: Roman Statues y Old Flame. Finalmente he de concluir que C’mon Sea Legs es una de las mejores canciones del álbum y de su trayectoria (por alguna razón, este track suena un poco “Bleeding Heart Show-esque” en mi opinión)
En fin, Fables, una sorpresa del 2007.

Highlights:

- Jarhand
- MP3: Dear Confessor
- Roman Statues
- Nothing Ever Happens
- C’mon Sea Legs. ? Recomendada..
